| Un cop a la setena planta vaig saludar a la secretaria
| Once on the seventh floor I greeted the secretary
|
| I hauria pogut fotre amb el peu la porta avall
| And he could have kicked the door down
|
| Cridar: «he sentit que hem de parlar, doncs parla!»
| Shout, "I heard we had to talk, so talk!"
|
| O dir: «em sap greu, però t’equivoques i del tot
| Or to say, "I'm sorry, but you're wrong
|
| No has calculat que estic molt boig! | You didn't think I was crazy! |
| En guàrdia, en guàrdia!»
| On guard, on guard! ”
|
| Quan vaig fer d’home respectable
| When I was a respectable man
|
| Que entén que són coses que passen…
| Who understands that these are things that happen…
|
| I un directiu, un directiu, em va acomiadar
| And a manager, a manager, fired me
|
| I un directiu, un directiu, em va acomiadar
| And a manager, a manager, fired me
|
| I hauria pogut portar un barret ben divertit
| And he could have worn a really fun hat
|
| Reptar-lo a un duel i requerir l’espasa
| Challenge him to a duel and require a sword
|
| O estirar-me dels cabells com posseït
| Or pulling my hair out like I own
|
| Notar-lo ben acollonit, mirant-me, mirant-me
| Notice him well-received, staring at me, staring at me
|
| Quan acceptava i assentia
| When he accepted and nodded
|
| El senyor obedient que porto a dintre…
| The obedient gentleman I carry inside…
|
| I un directiu, un directiu, em va acomiadar
| And a manager, a manager, fired me
|
| I un directiu, un directiu, em va acomiadar
| And a manager, a manager, fired me
|
| Jo l’obeïa i em va acomiadar!
| I obeyed and he fired me!
|
| I em va acomiadar, i em va acomiadar, i em va acomiadar!
| And he fired me, and he fired me, and he fired me!
|
| I aquest va ser el punt i final
| And that was the end of it
|
| D’aquest vell conte al•lucinat
| From this hallucinatory old tale
|
| Que ensenyarà potser als petits
| Maybe teach the little ones
|
| I distraurà, esperem, als grans
| And it will distract, hopefully, the big ones
|
| I aquí s’acaba la funció
| And that's where the function ends
|
| El directiu i el nostre heroi
| The manager and our hero
|
| Us saluden, us saluden | They greet you, they greet you |
